Solo Projects.

In the time honoured, Rock&Roll tradition ( See Kiss ), The Monkeys are going to spend a little time on some solo gigs: various theatre, dance and music things, teaching – across the freakin’ country, community building and more schoolin’.

Monkey works will arrives, here and there, as art-things are hard to stop doing, but nothing full-on Dancing Monkey as we looks for some funding to take our dance-moves to new places; where we can continue to challenge ourselves creatively, and evolve artistically.

Dancing Monkey Laboratories is a performance collective lead by scientists Mike Czuba, Melissa Tuplin, Nathaniel Schmidt, Leon Schwesinger and Larry Lamont. We are interested in researching, exploring, discovering and deconstructing what (T)heatre can be by creating new works that speak to diverse audiences. Dancing Monkey believes in experimentation without alienation – creating theatrical experiences that offer universal content, challenging aesthetics, while building bridges into other artistic communities and towards new audiences. Founded in Montreal, Quebec, Dancing Monkey now also has a laboratory in Calgary, Alberta.

Creating new forms, such as the “Night Play”, Dancing Monkey Laboratories is pleased to be following in the footsteps and dreams of our Nocturlogical predecessors. If you have to ask if something exists, it already does, if it is all lies, it is also completely true – Nocturlogically speaking.

"The characters in Mike Czuba’s new tragi-comedy “I AM I” may state in frustration that they hate postmodernism, but the show owns its very appeal to this fragmented, and yet strangely cohesive genius of narrative." Lucian Tion, Amsterdam Fringe - 2013
